T H E F I i a O E t K I R i t E I t . 1ST. Y . . WEDNESDAY, JULY 3S, 1869’ ■ THE HE¥ OOHSTITHTIOIT. \We suppose that all of our readers have, ere this, read over the proposed Constitution which we furnished them in our triple theet of last week, the n e s t election we are asked to vote upon the question o f its adoption, and on such a matter it is of the greatest importance that we consider carefully, and as intelligent men and citizens, what we are doing. The • Constitution of ’46 is a yery good one, but we have found that in some particulars i t might be improv ed. W e have certainly paid enough, in the expenses of the late Conven tion, to entitle us to a good fundamen tal la w ; and in deciding for ourselves as to its adoption, we should endeavor carefully to weigh and determine ev ery question. There is, or at least should be, no partizan feeling in this matter. O f course it is impossible for tax payers to forget that it was a Eepub- licau Convention, and that it continu ed its sessions a great while longer than there was any necessity; that much of the people’s money was spent in supporting a body of inen month At'last Grant, “ the smoker,\ has arrived at the eonelusion, that there is insurrection in Cuba, and that American citizens are attempting to assist the rebels, wb'iie our country has been chosen as a base o f operations against the Spanish power. The activity which the administra tion has shown for the past tew days, in trying to prevent fillibustering ex peditions, is only equalled by the sub lime indifference with which the departure o f siich expedition was regarded a few weeks since. Of late .several companies have been apprehended just a& they were ready start, and the Cuban Junta of New York are hegining to find it pretty warm^work^ trying»to carry on war under the preteclion of a neutral flag and in violation o f our neutrality WOKS AHEAD. The time is coming when we should begin to oraganize for the fall cam paign ; we shall need every Demo- eratic vote in this county, and as many disaffected-and converted Eepublican ones, as we can get. Now is the time to prepare the way, and the best way convince your neighbor that the Democratic party is right, is to furpish him with good, sound Democratic documents. Therefore support j o u r local paper; let every man become a local agent in his neighborhood, and send in - subscriptions for The Demo crat. W e have facilities for striking off several hundred more copies week ly, and we should be very happy to see our subscription list lengthen out. W e thank our patrons for their words of cheer since the consolidation with The Gazette,” and we are glad to see that our movement met with so after month, who did a great deal of hearty a support from the'Democracy. blowing', and very little work; and of course we cannot forget that the question of Negro Suffrage is again dragggd in, but in such a maimer as to allow of a separate vote. On this subject therg can be no doubt of our duty, or the result. New York has too long, and too many times refused the Negro the Suffrage, except with a property qualification, to allow of it now. But there are subjects in the New Constitution which, should meet our approval. One of theso is the Judiciary Article also to be submitted to a separate vote. One advantage to be gained from, the adoption of tbis article, and it is a great one, is the clearing. o f the Calendar of the Court of Appeals, and a closing up of all eases and is sues now peading. The Court o f A p peals, as at present constituted, has cas es on its calendar which could not be dsiposed of in twenty years; and I t has become so that people say, if you can get a case into the Court of A p peals you are. all right for the next half century.\ The Judiciary article may have some faults, but it certain ly has merits, and the legal fraternity know the great necessity of a revision of the present system. The question of equal assessmont of personal, and real property, is a good provision, and we think ought to be adopted, and we are glad that that is submitted separately. Now the question will arise with every citizen is there more good thUn evil in the new constitution ? The ca nal department is entirely revolution ized, and perhaps it ought to be, but it strikes us that it would have been \better to have made the term o f office o f tlxe Saperintendenfc shorter, and in fact this fault o f long terms runs all through the constitution. Senate are to hold four years. Prom the ex perience with our own Senator, of the past two years, we .are led to believe that two * years is quite long enough* The States Prison Board is to hold teu years, when h a lf that time would be a great plenty. The Judges o f the Supreme Court fourteen years. It is not o f so much importance in this case, bu t yet it Ls too long-. Another thing, and one, which in the light of the past few years, may well alarm u?, and cause us to hesitate awhile before we give this constitution our sanetIon,ls that provision which says, “ No mera- her shall he expelled hy either House except by a vote o f a majority o f all the members elected to that House, and no member shall be twice exp-elled for the same offence.” Article 3, Sec tion 8. Should such a provision as this be embodied in oar organic lav^, we should be subjected to the entire control o f a majority, and the experi- -ence o f all ages ha^ proved that no tyranny is so oppressive as the tyran ny of majorities. , A mere majority could expel a memher o f the minori ty, and there is no remedy except to secure a re-eiectxon. Senator Stockton’s case, in the U. S. Senate, shows how unscrupulously the Eepublican party can use this power o f expulsion, and If such a thing •was done where a two-thircis vote was retired, what will he done when only a majority vote is necessary ? Space forbids us discussing all the points of the proposed constitution, and so trusting that every citizen who has not read it carefully will do so, - and decide for himself what he will do in November, we leave the subject. OEHTKAI. EAILKOAD’ o FFIOBKS IHDIOTBD. The Grand Jury, at the last session o f the Court o f Oyer and Terminer, held at Eome, found an -indictment against Gen..Z. G. Priest, Assistant Superintendent, Vice-President Tor rance, Track Superintendent Newell and Attorney Fairchild, of the Cen tral Bailroad, for manslaughter. Qn the 2Sth of August, 1868, a collision occurred between Utica and Whites- boro, resulting in the injury of seve ral men and the death of Michael Robinson, A special train con taining the gentlemen above named ran into a working train. Several days were given to bearing testimony in the case, a t the conclu sion of which the Coroner’s jury ren dered the following verdict:— W e find that deceased,-Michael Robinson, came to his death by a col lision between an extra special train, the V ice President and ■3 o f the New York Cen- and a working train, on 1 the afternoon o f Friday, Aug. 28, 1868, and that said officers and are highly culpable in ne- their upward trip, and also that the foreman of the working train violated regulation o f the road, but no printed lie or instructions. ■ On the strength of this verdict the 'case has been taken before the Grand Jury, resulting in the indictment as above stated. W ith a strong united front to the ene my, we should do something this fall, which will cause a wailing and a gnashing of teeth, among the heathen worshippers of the ebony idol. Dispatches from Washington state that a ll the bounty eases under the suplemental law o f 1866, ovev.20,- 000 in number, have been transferred from the office of tli-e X’aymaster eral to the Bureau of Referred Claims in the Pay Department. Hereafter no letters will be replied to until the claims they relate to are registered and regularly examined, and no infor mation can be given concerning claims provided for in the act oi Jrlarch 3d, 1869, until an opinion is received from the i^ttorney General, to whom, the law has been referred. I n ox .4. W h i t e B eack - bikd !—The Conservatives of Virginia have elect ed a negro meraber o f Congress. His seat will, be contested by the whits carpet-hag candidate on the other side. The negro will be refused a seat, in Congress, pajrtly because he is not a radical, and partly because he is a negro. A Radical paper has alrea dy made the case out against him. The Constitution o f the United States requires that a member of Congress shall be twenty-five years of age, and must have been a citizen of the Uni ted States for seven, years before elec tion. The negroes of Virginia were not citizens before the adoption of the fourteenth amendment, and therefore cannot be elected ■ td Congress until the expiration of their seven years probation. The negroes were made voters to send white sehalawags to Congress, and in electing decent white men, or themselyes have made a mis take. • ' . A Bfirp BHBHED AT SEA.

The London JSfrald publishes the following -letter from one of the survivors, to his mother, and dated at Port Stenley, Falkland Islands, April 29: I will tell you what has happened on board the Blue Jacket since she left Lyttleton up to the time she burned.

Bleretofore ea'ch As sembly District was entitled to send three delegates. Hereafter each A s sembly District may send one.dele gate* to each Eepublican State Con vention, and no more than one, unless it shall have cast, at the preceding election of governor, over 1,500 votes for the ''Republican candidate; in which, case i t may send two delegates, and one more for every 1,500 Repub lican votes cast as aforesaid. B y this change, the Republican counties and districts gain and the Democratic lose delegates in future Republican Conventions. Under the old system fail Republican State Convention consisted or384 members. The new plan increases the number to 402. lamin at that time that'this place aid be our refuge before long. ON FIRE. But on the Tuesday following there was a scene that I never wish to view again. About half-past one in the afternoon smoke was seen issuing out of the fore hatchway.

G reat inducements*' Accident at tlio Sand Bank. At about nine o’clock last Saturdi morning, an accident occurred at the bank between this village and the df-pot by which several men from Utica were injured, one of them quite severely. The Central ft-allroad Oompaiiy have branch track leading from the depot at II- ion abont half a mile into a sand bank from which large quantities of sand for use in grading are continually taken. A li^rge lorce of workmen are employed here daily. Saturday morning while they were loading a sand train, as usual, necessary precaution was neglected, and a laip bank of sand immediately adjoining the rear car, was far undermined as to cause it to suddenly fall, crashing four men between the mass of sand and the rear car. The men were not buried completely, and a few minutes hard shoveling succeeded in extricating them. The report that one m'an was kill ed by the accident proves to be untrue.— Mr. Frank Elby, who was superintendin' the loading of*tho cars, immediately calle tbe roll of his men and found no one miss ing. The sand train brought the wounded men to Utica where they reside, within an. hour after the accident. The most serious ly iDjUred IS Daniel Sullivan, who resides on JMoaawfe street, A.lthou\li no bones are broken, the man had received some bad contusions of the fleshy parts of the body, as well as a severe nervous shook.

John McNulty, a young man who lives on Montgomery street, was. faadiy Braised in the left foot. John McDonald, 77 Jay street, was injured slightly. The other- man injured resides at liion.
